After our recent pine marten camera trap footage, we’re surveying nearby woodlands in Cornwall. Camera traps & peanut butter lures help us identify sex and individuals from unique bib patterns, in this temporary, non-invasive survey. (Molly the dog was bribed away with biscuits!)

Well we didn't expect this to turn up on our camera traps! This amazing footage of a wild pine marten was recorded whilst surveying for water voles, following the reintroduction last year, as part of the ongoing partnership between Kernow Conservation and Trewithen Estate.

We’ve been taking some time to review a year’s worth of camera trap footage, and this woodcock moment stood out immediately. Their camouflage is extraordinary, an adaptation to a life spent feeding among leaf litter at dawn and dusk!

🎥 A stoat investigates a water vole monitoring raft — a rare glimpse of this predator in the water. A sharp bird alarm at the end sends it racing back to shore. Wild Cornwall at its finest.

In August, Cornwall’s damp meadows and heaths glow with the purple blooms of Devil’s-bit scabious. It’s a late-season nectar lifeline for pollinators and the sole larval food plant for the rare marsh fritillary butterfly, whose larvae feed on its leaves throughout autumn and winter. 📸 tag us

Not the most flattering angle, but definitely one of the rarest we’ve filmed in Cornwall. Seen skulking through the undergrowth at Trelusback Foundation… can you guess the bird?
